D.A.R.E.- Drug Abuse Resistance Education

In D.A.R.E. this last nine weeks I think the most important thing that I learned is that friendship can be the most important thing in some situations. Having a friend can be able to help you say no to alcohol or drugs and that you can always have a choice when it comes to drugs you always have a choice and that choice should be no.

What I have learned will help me in the future as wanting to be an athlete. Doing drugs or not having a friendship with somebody will not show good qualities of an athlete and will always slow you down. In sports having good sportsmanship is like having a friendship at school and doing drugs or smoking will not help you at sports or make you look cool it will just make you look bad on both sports and through out the rest of your life.

In D.A.R.E. we all have had a lot of fun we have also learned a lot When we put on the DUI goggles and tried to walk across a line and then trying to catch a tennis ball was fun but being drunk and having to walk around like that would never be fun. Remembering to wear your DARE shirts would also be fun because you would get extra recess and in the future it would help improve your memory. If you are hoping to be an athlete in junior high just that little bit of recess can even help you stay fit enough for the sports that you wanted to play. Another funny thing is when dip lip bit Hadley’s finger which I talk about in the next paragraph.

Deputy Thomas brought in Smokin Susie and Dip Lip and the Jar of Tar which are two dolls that show what would happen to you if you chewed or smoked tobacco over a period of time.If you would want to look like the dolls that he brought in be my guest but there is no way that I would want look like them and I hope that you don’t either.

I learned a lot in D.A.R.E. and I am sure that is going to help a lot of people stay drug free and to not do any stupid stuff like you see everybody does and I am glad that I was in D.A.R.E. this  year because Deputy Thomas taught me a lot of things that I did not know last year that will be good to know when I do go into junior high next year. Like the was to say no like the cold shoulder, the broken record and those are just some of the ways to say no no no no.This year in DARE I have learned some of the most important things in my life that has helped me to learn more about being drug free. My pledge is to stay drug free and have a healthy life so I can live long and I can be able to play sports for a long time because I want to be able to have a long sports career in baseball,basketball or football in the future and to not be involved in the wrong group of people in my life so my friends and family will always be safe and so they don’t have to get involved with any of the want you to do stupid stuff like drugs.
